A 38-year-old man was arrested Tuesday after an 11-year-old relative told police he had raped her several times over the last year, a practice that allegedly began after he showed her pornography and asked her if she liked it.

Silas Wirth now faces a charge of continuous sexual abuse of a young child. He remains in the Bexar County Jail on a $75,000 bail.

According to his affidavit, Wirth confessed to the abuse during an interview with a detective, then went back on his confession before blaming the abuse on the relative, claiming she initiated the illicit relationship.

The victim, however, told police a different story. She said that the abuse began around a year ago, with the last instance occurring sometime in April, according to the affidavit.

Wirth allegedly progressed from showing the victim pornography to raping her. According to the affidavit, both the victim and Wirth told police that he used sex toys on the victim at various times. Wirth also told police he took showers with the victim on multiple occasions.

Police were first notified of the alleged abuse on Tuesday. Later that day, a police detective interviewed Wirth about the allegations. At first, Wirth dismissed the allegations and even made a joke about them, police say.

Wirth then told the detective that "any chance he got, he did it," and that "he did everything [the victim] said he did," according to the affidavit.

Following the interview, police obtained a warrant for his arrest on a charge of continuous sexual abuse of a child.
